And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think I'm just confused....
Or bipartisan.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
One of the unexplored arenas of American health care is the fact that, as we have it now, the system cannot sustain full use. Mass started mandating health insurance for all, and all those newly-insured people are trying to get basic care now, and there just aren't enough doctors/NPs/whatevs available to take care of them.
All the cancer specialists in the world, and not enough people to tell you it's not a tumor.

I think Saabs are advanced liberal elitist.
yay!
Except that since Saab got bought by GM, their essential Saabishness has gradually been leeched out. Now they're just another European entry-level luxury car....
crap (but if by "essential Saabishness", you mean "looks like a giant bug", then I can't be mad about that leeching)
(They still have the key-lock on the floor thing, though.)
Yes! and my car key is the remote!
Advanced liberal elitest by definition! European cars are always elitist, aren't they?
Yes, FOR THE WIN.

Jessica, that's a great martini glass. Not $85 great, but great nevertheless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
...at least there isn't an opossum behind the refrigerator?
Ha. True. Though yesterday, my husband did feel obliged to copy me on an e-mail detailing how a roach crawled onto his water bottle at work.

Not even $42.50 great. Cause it's a set of two. If it had been a set of four, I would have thought about it.

Okay, so Obama's bitter statement? Totally impolitic. But the truth of the matter, even though I'm not in a small town, I am entirely BITTER about the economic state of my life and my country. It hasn't yet turned me to god but it does make guns look sort of appealing.
I can sort of see his point, but I don't think it put it the right way. IMO, small town America has been getting the economic shaft long enough that they've given up on politicians' proposals to address economic justice issues and have become more concerned about issues of religion and gun control. In Missouri, you get the impression that any support for any type of gun control will immediately lose you the rural areas of the state.

Totally impolitic.
You know, I had to read it three or four times before I figured out what the fuss was. I get that no one likes to be described sociologically like that (and that putting religion and xenophobie in the same syntactic group was unwise), but wasn't he just saying that lots of people don't trust government to make things better for them and have turned their attention and trust to other things?
